ONE BOWL COCONUT MACAROONS image

This is my daughters favorite cookie. Sometimes I drizzle them with melted chocolate, other times I leave them plain. I tweaked this recipe more than twenty years ago, and was very pleased with the results, so I have been using it ever since. It is very moist,& chewy. It has been family & neighbor approved for years.

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 oz shredded flaked coconut
2 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 Tbsp pure almond extract
maraschino cherry halves or quarters

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; MIX WELL. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls, one inch apart, onto a well greased baking sheet. Add a cherry half or quarter to each cookie by pressing into cookie lightly.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown around edges.
  • 3. Remove from cookie sheet IMMEDIATELY WHILE STILL WARM. Or they will stick to pan. NOTE: I HAVE ALWAYS USED MARASCHINO CHERRIES on top , BUT THAT IS OPTIONAL. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over cookie in a zig zag fashion. Very impressive, and can dunk half of cookie in melted chocolate if you like. Use your imagination.
  • 4. You can also cut this recipe in half if you like. with great results. I use the entire recipe, because I usually freeze some, and give some away to the neighbors.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroons turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These macaroons were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I tried these macaroons and was pleasantly surprised. They're not too sweet, and the coconut flavor is very subtle. I would definitely make them again.

These macaroons are amazing! I made them for a party and everyone loved them. They're so light and fluffy, and the coconut flavor is perfect.

I've made these coconut macaroons a few times now, and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make, and they're always delicious. I love the chewy texture and the sweet coconut flavor.
